Termite swarms were spotted last night across New Orleans. This is normal for the season, but indoor swarms may signal an issue. Turn off outdoor lights, keep windows screened, and report any indoor activity or mud tubes to a licensed pro. #SwarmOMeter2026

TEENAGER BUILDS APP THAT BEATS HEART SURGEONS AT THEIR OWN GAME
Meet Siddharth — age 14, armed with machine learning, and apparently here to disrupt cardiology before getting his learner’s permit.
His app can detect up to 40 heart conditions in seconds, using ECG data and outscoring human doctors: 96% accuracy vs their 54%.
That’s not a typo.
The kid’s app is almost twice as accurate as the average physician.
Next up? He’s working on diagnosing lung diseases.
Because, you know, why not reinvent medicine between math homework?

GENE THERAPY REVERSES HEART FAILURE IN PIGS
Scientists gave pigs with heart failure a gene upgrade—and their broken hearts basically did a glow-up.
A protein called cBIN1 was the MVP, helping heart cells get their act together and pump blood like they used to.
The pigs went from “definitely dying” to “we're good,” with a 30% boost in heart performance.
This kind of recovery never happens with heart failure.
If it works in humans, it could flip the script for millions.

Gayle Benson and her executive team are operating the two worst franchises in the two most valuable leagues in America.
What will it take for her to realize the rot starts at the top and make some real, meaningful changes at the top of the organization?
